Put the southern comfort away for the night

lol, you heard me on the phone and called me out on it lol. you guessed the right amount of drinks to.

My skill is mediocre at best but i have exceptional days and then i have supper lame days as well.
  A factor that should be considered is that every engagement will be different and the outcome can change due to all the factors that you have mentioned.

y0 B you know i love you to death bro. We're real life friends. But your bellybutton needs to step away from the game a while. You are WAYYYY to far in to it. Go out get drunk and take home a fattie. Take pics and send to me

If he is having fun, why should he have to take a step back from the game. He obviously enjoys what he's doing, otherwise he wouldn't have posted this thread.  Just because you needed to take as step away because it became more than just a game doesn't mean everyone suffers from the same thing.

taking out a turning cv and cruiser from 15k while having enough ord to take out another cruiser a sector away takes skills.  duking it out with a p47 for 5mins in a goon 'til your bud comes to kill it aswell 

[pervert]

I'd be one of those who considers 1v1 to require more skill, simply because to do the rest of the stuff on the list (gunnery aside) requires more a degree of patience than skill.

[cobia38]

 I cant believe no one mentioned the [keep your sheep safe skill]
 or the [chnl 200 smack talk skill ]
 both are very importent

Everyone defines success differently, as a result, everyone looks at skills a bit differently.

For me success is getting up each time I'm knocked down, so endurance plays a large part, along with a certain amount of stubbornness not to mention pure dogged determination.  Patience, persistence, and Perseverance are my motto.

That's not to say that ACM and SA and gunnery are not important, they are.

But for a long healthy AH life, whats important is to find something you can do and enjoy it.
Then over time work on getting better at it.

Doing so in a manner that doesn't take away anything from anyone else, or that promotes teamwork and good fun for others is certainly a bonus.

Skill is the art of defeating the enemy.

Air combat is an art, the knack of defeating an enemy whether it be in a 1v1 or a pick does not matter. If he is dead and you are alive (Bar situations where other players have deemed that a fight is a personal affair)then you are the victor and live to fight another day.

While some tactics are cheap and I am hippocritical for saying that I am not annoyed by them, If I was stupid enough to take a fight that I lost. Then it is my fault.

Skill is mastering the fine art of maneging to convince your wife that fight sims are therapeutic And contribute to a healthy relationship....

Plus what Grizz said

[IrishOne]

id have to say that the gunnery would supercede all.  if u cant hit anything, all else is useless.  Doesn't matter how many u can track, how good u can BnZ, or how badass u are in a 1vs1.  If u cant hit these guys, none of that matters.  just my $0.02 

[uptown]

Am I the only one that thinks computer performance plays a big part in "skill"? 

[IrishOne]

i bet there are guys out there with top of the line systems that absolutely suck.  on the other hand i bet there are guys with systems that just barely meet the minimum requirements that freaking pwn.
